ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Assign AddEventListener To 52 Buttons
Apr 30, 2010
I am not an expert in Flash and my problem might looks silly.But anyway, my problem is that, I have 52 Button instances on Scene 1 as bellow:and I want to assign seperated actions for each of them.The way I currently CAN do that is this:
B1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, B1F);B2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, B2F);B3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, B3F);...B52.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, B4F);
[code].....

But "test.addEventListener(..." does not work, and Flash searches for a function named "test" instead of working with the VALUE of "test".

I have an array of buttons - for example "Save & Exit", "Cancel" and "Exit". When one of the buttons is hit I call "button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, displayMessage);". In displayMessage, I have a switch statement to determine what button is depressed. However, I don't know how to identify what button is pressed. See question marks below:
private static function handleMenu():void {
// Determine which menu button was pressed
switch (????) {

One of the things that I love about AS 1/2 is with scrpt assist on, the ability to click a box and assign an action to a button (over, rollout, rollover, click, etc.). With action script 3, at least in CS4 that interaction isn't there and you have to write the code.I'm wondering if in CS5 there is that ability with AS3? Am I the only designer who misses this function.

I am new top actionscript that is why I am trying to learn AS3 instead of the AS2 etc.anyway I am trying to create a number pad in flash (like a calculator but wothout the add, subtract etc) so that when I press a number its displays the number in the flash movie. I nearly have it but it only displays one number at any one moment but i need to be able to add upto 5 digits in the display, so that later on in the project I can validate this field to make the input is correct.here is the code that I have made but remember this is my first AS3 flash program so go easy on me
stop();
display.maxChars = 5;
// start of the array

i have a rookie question to ask and it's how to assign the same event listeners to multiple buttons in as3 instead of having to write out the same code over and over again like so...
ActionScript Code:
listing.home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER , butOver)
listing.home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT , butOut)
listing.home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , released)

I've got 5 movie clip buttons. When a user rolls over a button, I want one movie clip to play. When a user clicks on that button, an alternate movie clip plays. I'm trying to use an array to assign certain movie clips to certain buttons and actions, but I'm not doing something quite right. I can get one button to work correctly, but then am having issues getting the other buttons to work.
Here is the code I have:
var currentPage:MovieClip;
var currentScreen:MovieClip;
var prevPage:MovieClip;

I am amateur in flex, and started my final year project in flex to learn it, I am stuck in place where I have to create rows of drop down lists when the user pressed add more, E.g.: like the ones in mail attachments. I think I have found a way to generate rows, I am not even sure whether it is a correct way, how I generate the rows:
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="newRow">
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{cityDropdown}">
<s:DropDownList id="newbutton" creationComplete="hotelDropdown_creationCompleteHandler(event)" labelField="Name">
<s:AsyncListView list="{getAllHotelResult.lastResult}"/>
</s:DropDownList>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
Now when I generate more rows the dropdownlist ids will conflict, so I want to know a way to generate ids, I think I cant even call a function in there.

I'm fairly new to AS3. What I'm trying to is create a multiframe SWF (main.swf) that loads several external SWFs (ext.swf) on each frame. I've got that to work. My problem is that I'm trying to assign actions to buttons/MovieClips in the external swfs that navigate to different frames in my main.swf. I want to avoid hard coding the buttons because there are about 30 external SWFs and they don't all have the same number of buttons within them. The approach I took was creating two arrays in each ext.swf, one to hold the button instances and the other to hold the frame destination labels.
Code:
var buttons:Array = [link1, link2, link3, link4, link9, link10, link20, link21];
var links:Array = ["c1", "c2", "c3", "c4", "c1", "d1", "d2", "e1"];
Then in the main.swf, I created a function that loads the ext.swf and runs a "for" loop that assigns EventListeners to the contents of the "buttons" array to go to the frame labels defined in the "links" array.
[Code] .......
The "for" loop in the "assignLink" processes and traces the "links" array just fine, but it always assigns the last array item to every button.

I made a basic text editor that lets users insert predefined strings into the document with button clicks. What I need to do now is let the user define their own buttons and string values. For example I have a button that inserts "Hello" into the text. The user may want to create a button that adds "Goodbye".To accomplish this I figured I would create a .txt file called buttons.txt or something. i would readutfbytee, loop through it to create the buttons. problem is I know what I want to do but not sure where to start

I know this should be do-able, but i am stumped... I created a row of movie clip buttons + eventListeners (CLICK) with a for-loop. i now want to take an array that consists of a list of swfs (i.e., var myArray:Array=new Array(); myArray=["thing.swf","dog.swf",more.swf",etc}--and programmatically assign a loader + URL request to each of the created movie clip buttons that will load the swfs on the button click.

What I need to do is assign 5 separate dynamic text fields to 5 seperate buttons and at the same time to those same five buttons i would like to add 5 images that i would be able to change merely by swapping out the images in the file theyre in on the server.I would also like to get a nice transition between the images...ALSO i want to dynamically load the images for the buttons that will be used for switching from picture to picture(which im thinking i will be able to do after i know the how to do point the aforementioned things.)
Through tutorials I've found around the net I've been able to get most of the parts together... but i get lost because what they show you for AS2 they don't for AS3 and vice versa, at least that ive seen.so... I guess my question is... would i need to set up 5 seperate dynamic text fields on the stage and then set each one of them to one of the corresponding button. If so what AS code would i need to use to do so. And if not what would i need to do?
The other part of the question would be I know about the UILoader... would i be able to use it as my buttons and images, if so would i need 5 seperate ui loaders for both the Thumbnail buttons and the images or is there a way that would be better to do it? and once i do that would i do the transitions using frames and tweens like with AS2?

I am trying to make an interactive flash application that works by detecting mouse overs and clicks on various buttons/movie clips and then moves to the appropriate part of the time line. But I am having an issue when I use more than one addEventListener in any one frame. I have attached the code for one such frame below. When I comment out the addEventListner and the other code relating to the followBall function this works fine and directs the user to frame Inlet_Valve_Open_Frame but now only the followBall function is working and when i try to click on the Inlet_Valve_Button movie clip nothing happens.
Can someone please help. I have never read all the help files on the adobe flash CS3 as i don't have time and i have built this code up based on examples i have found online. I wanted to include my fla file but it's to big 6Mb. But i have attached the swf so you have an idea what i am doing.

If in a situation, the addEventListener is being assigned more than once for same actionwhat will happen then? Suppose on frame 5 there is ample_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK...... ... and when user navigates the application/site it comes on frame 5 again and again. Will the addEventListener be applied more than once on that button? If yes then what will happen on clicking on that button? will the associated function be called more than once now?

I have made the flash file into CS3 and simplified the idea a bit. Basically I want to click the box on the right to start playing the song and the spectrum and then if I click it again it will stop playing the song and the spectrum then if I click it again it will start playing again ect ect. I could not upload the song.mp3 cause the file size was too big you will have to replace it with another mp3 in the root of the folder and name the mp3 song.mp3.

I want to do something quite simple, but am new to AS3 and the changes since AS2.I want to click a button (play_btn)Then when this happens it opens a SWF (movie.swf) into a placeholder (placeholder_mc) onto the stage. That's it!
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, placeholder_mc);
function placeholder_mc(event:MouseEvent):void{
trace("pressed");
loader.load(new URLRequest("movie.swf"));
}

I have created a scrolling bar menu. All the buttons in the menu work except for the last two. When I place a trace statement within the function it definitely is listening to all the buttons except for the last two. All instances are named correctly. Can the size of the scroller be contributing to why the addEventListener is not working?
